I am using Lenovo UltraNav USB keyboards on Windows and Linux machines and an Apple BT keyboard on a Mac. On all of them I can type C-c with a *completely relaxed* left pinkie and a left index finger thanks to an additional CTRL key instead of the CAPS LOCK. My left pinkie seldom moves away from the left CAPS LOCK position. In fact, I never use the original left CTRL key at all. And more or less thanks to bad habit, I never use the right CTRL key. Unfortunately, I do not touch type all the time. And I know, that my typing behavior is not optimized. However, it's that fast that changing my typing habits at this point seems to be a hard thing to do for very little benefit. I never had any physical issues related to typing. I tend to think that this is because of the CAPSLOCK/CTRL trick. I get the impression from this thread, that this varies from user to user. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
